Pet-friendly Hotels in Lavington

For us the Boomerang is midway between home and Canberra, we stayed on the way to Canberra and because we enjoyed it stayed again on the return trip. The motel is part of the larger Hotel complex and although not the Ritz it is comfortable, clean and has all the appointments that you may need for a short stay. BONUS, rooms are very reasonably priced. The rooms vary in age but are neat, tidy and clean. The bed was very comfy providing a good nights' sleep. One criticism, especially me getting a bit older, is the bathrooms. The first bathroom had a shower over bath which in itself is not that easy to navigate, the second bathroom was more modern with a shower recess, but the level of the floor in the bathroom is considerably higher than the room floor and again is a real trip hazard. Restaurant in the hotel is great. Good food, inexpensive and very tasty. The Thursday night steak night is a real winner, a 250gm rump, chips and salad for a mere $15.00, and you get the added bonus of the Nepalese kitchen staff providing what I call accidental entertainment. Their constant banter, jokes among themselves and other staff plus singing is very refreshing. HIGHLIGHT, front office, bar, floor and kitchen staff are some of the happiest and most helpful staff/people you could find. Nothing is too much trouble. If my rating were to be done on them, it would be 5 star. They are a credit to the establishment and management should be congratulated.

Cost-effective and convenient………………………………

The kids enjoyed this place more than we did - mainly due to the pool area as it kept them busy for hours. I booked this place based on the great reviews but unfortunately it didn’t quite live us to its reputation in my opinion. The room we got was quite average, though the beds were quite comfortable and the place seemed clean. The biggest thing for me was the odour. As soon as we entered, I could smell a mouldy type smell so had to run an air purifier (which I fortunately took with me). Later I realised that the smell was coming from the bathroom where it was obvious there was some of the roof replaced due to water damage but some still remained. Not a very welcoming scent when you enter and not very healthy for guests to be breathing in!! In terms of the outdoor and conman area facilities, there are lots of things to do and it’s a great set up, just some maintenance issues as there were cracked tiles/flooring around the indoor pool area and a few things in disrepair like the mini golf course. Overall we had a decent enough stay since it was only for 2 nights, I wouldn’t stay longer than that though and I felt it was over priced for what you get.

We loved our stay here. The restaurant was great...very friendly staff especially the chef who was a great guy. Best steak in Albury and very generous servings!! And great value ! I've been to Albury many times and found this to be very comfortable and relaxed.
